Usage Note
Pub is a loanword from English used throughout Spain for a bar with a more relaxed, lounge-style atmosphere — often open late and playing music. It differs from a bar (daytime counter service) or a discoteca. The plural is pubs. Pronunciation follows Spanish phonology with a short u sound.
Examples
"Quedamos en el pub para ver el partido."
Natural Translation
We met at the pub to watch the match.
